Let's get into the episode right now that if you gotta come to be sideways like that, like trying to do it close to the care real like it's all sweet and stuff, but really it's a dig at me.

You didn't see the girls. They have not cared to see it. But they got the Louisiana purchase card.

You know what the Louisiana purchase card is, aren't you? And I am on the side of Target because you because what? Because what? Because here's the thing, this thing, this thing. I've been excited for this episode. I've been excited for so long because so many times there will be a thing where we were going, you know, head

to head, my work cut out for me. I truly am like, okay, how am I gonna Because you know your your thing will be like very very solid, right, So then I'll be like it's like puppies versus shoes. I get it. Yeah, And I'll be like I believe in my side but how do I convinced the people

with this one? This is the first time where I feel like, you know, us being authentic to ourselves has has truly uh kicked your legs from under you, Walt bar But if we're being authentic to ourselves, yeah, you know, for the history of your life up until you left the great style of Weziana, you with a Walmart nigger And don't blame me, and don't but you spent many a childhood days, many Sunday, many a Sunday in a Walmart. Don't you remember when they put in the groceries. I've

been fighting my whole life to escape Walmart. I've been working to get that target in. I've been look look all life. I had to fight you know what. And I never like to say this, but Josh, you forgot where you come from. That's what happened. I hope I have amnesia. I have no problem with get my past. Listen, I remember in high school. I think the first dame I senior in high school, I was very cute, little

like outfit. It's like a blue top and it buttoned up the back because I could started like open like just a few of the button you know, just to basically let my ask fit in the shirt. And but also you don't give the boy of a peek of a lower back situation. Um, I was seventeen after all, and it's cute like matching, like blue and white skirt. Right. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry because I'm not laughing

at your thing now. I'm the fact that you said situation is so funny just because just because I'm so sorry to digress, but if I want to make sure I remember it so that we could get to your thing and then get back to the But like when I was in high school, you said you were seventeen, right.

When I was at high school, there was a guy I do who had a crush on this girl, and so we're all in the scenario, we're all sixty or seventeen, right, And then he was like, she had wore a short sleeve shirt that day, and he was just like he was he was already admiring her top to bottom, but he was like, even her arms are sexy, you know, and uh, and then he was like even her elbows, and the elbows is the knuckle of the arm. And I laughed so hard the knuckles should have it's the

knee of the arm, the or the elbow. The knee is the elbow of the let's just say that the nuclea, it's a joint. The bands, I remember they had us because I could never figure out why they wouldn't let us were like we always thought it was stupid that they wouldn't le us. Were like spaghetti straps or some schools or bra strap couldn't show because why would we teach boys to have respect for girls? We could just cover girls up. Yeah, apparently right, Like I'm not I'm

not an antique car. Why the funk am I under this drake? So so you were had the lower back situation going and the lower back situation. And so this one of the popular girls who when she was talking to me, I couldn't figure out why she was talking to me because I wasn't popular, but I was friends with the people who were popular. Also, I've really never spoken to this girl before, and I hadn't. And you know that a little like they're these beated sandals that

came out, because I remember those beated bracelets. They were like this is courts is this jade? They put it on shoes? It's like blue matching flip flop shoes and I always wear blue. Um, if we didn't live in the suburbs, you know, I thought it was a gang member. Um, but I just really like blue. And this girl comes to me and she's like, I really love her outfit. I was like, oh, thank you. So where'd you get it from? Was like Walmart? And she's like, you got

clothes from Walmart? And I was like, bitch, this outfit was cute before you found out it was from Walmart, and it's gonna be cute after you find out us from Walmart. And then there's other popular girls standing. I was like, her clothes are from Walmart and I was like, and they's still cute, so what. Yeah. Look, I'm not saying the Walmart doesn't have good product. No, I'm not saying what happens in a Walmart. No, no no, no, no, no no,

no no. Listen. This is how I knew Target, with some regular ship and people trying to make it better than it was. When people started calling Target tar J, I was like, nah, bitch, this is a regular ass fucking store because guess what these cheap ass jeans in here is the same cheap ass jeans and a Walmart, We're not playing this game. All Target did it was make their prices a little higher. And then they're like, okay, we got red. And when we're gonna, we're gonna, we're

gonna put a filter on these lights. We're gonna make it. Because the thing is a Walmart is soothing as a Walmart is for me. It is slightly chaos even when it's calm down, even when But you have to understand a country ass Walmart. Because I went to college and country Astown College, Gainesville, Georgia, right, and there was a mall across the street. On a Sunday, people would park at the mall and walk across the street to the Walmart shopping center because there was no parking in that Walmart.

And I'm gonna tell you what, it was not as chaotic as a city. A city Walmart is wild. I go on to Target and get a bunch of ship. I don't we all know you're going to Target, you get one thing, you spend two hundred dollars, Right, That's what I'm saying. You're going to Targets to get one thing. Oh and the like, what the funk happened? Here? If you spent two hundred dollars on Walmart. You brought half

the store that look look at look at one. One things I was discussing with some of the producers even before we started was the Black Friday situation at a Target or a Walmart right now, the Black Friday they both chaos. I've been to both. I've I've been to both. I even went to a best Buy Black Friday. But I will say that a lot of people forget the levels of Black Friday chaos. Okay, because best Buy is up here, because we already come through with all the

electronics right. Target is actually much lower because people forget that they have the same electronics as Walmart. So to your point before of like, uh, Target just has what Walmart has, but it's more expensive in everything. I don't go to Target for my electri at all. You know, I don't go to it. I don't go to Target or Walmart for elect tronics. I've bought TV's from Walmart.

That's not you're about from Walmart. But I knew that I could get a cheaper out of Walmart there because because the thing about Target is like targets like okay in California, Target, because sometimes an anchor store in a shopping mall because of the eyes of a Steers or a Macy's or a jac They've become an anchor store because they've been able to adjust their aesthetic to not really be like because listen, if I can buy wine, drawls and cat litter in here, I don't give a

funk how you adjust this lighting. I'm not a Walmart, you see, like I can still this is. I'm buying power tools, I'm buying dog food. People blame Walmart for like, oh, but what about the mom and pop stores in an area? Does Target not do the same thing? If the tar it comes in your neighborhood, if you were a clothing store, if you were electronic store, if you did whatever the funk that they sell on a Target, is it Target

doing the same thing. It's a big box store. It's like when you're a butcher or some ship, and then a grocery in a full grocery store molds in your neighborhood. Now, isn't that the same ship? It's not quite the same, though, because Walmart goes much much further in that Walmart. And this is this is even a credit to your point,

all right, this is something that I will concede up top. Okay, a Walmart for all of its sections in the overall store, especially as Supercenter, right, it has a mom and pop of each thing in there, whereas Target does not. So Target is not gonna come through with a full butcher and certain meats that are on sale that week or whatever. Target also doesn't have the bakery section. It just has the things already laid out baked, you know. So my thing is for the for the mom and pop situation.

I do consider that more of a Walmart thing because Target is just being the box like like here all our line. Yeah, because it's like because I remember they started putting grocery stores in a Target m M, and I'm like, okay, so you're gonna close even the giant grocery store because the thing is, it's like Target feels like it's not trying hard enough with the grocery section because there's not It's like there's not enough food in it. And then Walmart says like, we're gonna like targets like

a section of the store. Walmart's half the fucking store targets a selective lady. She's not out here loose with all the groceries with with all of the electronics, with all She's not trying to be everybody everywhere doing everything all right, she has her particulars. No, she sells everything under she sells everything under a private label. Mm hmmmmmm. What you know that a lot of private label stuff is made by larger companies. Yeah, I'm not I'm not

denying that at all. I don't think that there's a Target in the back of Target that's making all the Target stuff, you know what I mean? These aren't like Keebler Elves doing target things, right. I understand Target is very good at selling target things. Walmart is very good at selling everybody's things. Everybody's things, war we got it. But the thing is that with targets. So it's like, because you know there's a great value brand of Walmart,

we're fully aware. It's like the private select of your Kroger slash routes. We know that people have generic store brands of things. I can say that the I would rather have a Kroger chocolate sandwich cookie than in Oreo

any day of the fucking week. Yeah, yeah, they're there are things exactly like that that that all of these stores do very well, this is you touched on trail mixes tap target is good target, that that whole aisle, that large section of mixed, not some various backgrounds and denominations. I need a bigger cart. I need a bigger buggy. Wait, do you call them carts or buggies? I think I called it a buggy when I was little and I

was in the Amusiana, I call it a cart. Now, maybe you got out of the South before earlier than I did, because I didn't leave to I was like thirty three thirty four. Now I call them buggies, and I have to, like, if I'm around certain people, I had to make sure I change my terminology because people if you just call a cart a buggy, people are acting like I didn't deny the Holocaust. I just fucking said it was the way that people react to certain

things being called something. Because like other on Instagram, I realized my mother called sunglasses shades, and I've always called them sunglasses, and she's always called them shades, but I always what then was talking about. And sometimes they go, I can't find my shades, and people goes, You're like, huh. I do like the fact that Walmart's like here's the stuff. Have the stuff. Target, on the other hand, is trying to I don't believe Target as in, you have your

curating things, you're creating a vibe now, mind you. Is a Walmart employee helpful absolutely, the funk not not. Usually it's the old person at the door, right. And then if you're a country Walmart, they're they're slightly helpful. If you find an older employee, yes, they know where things are. Someone could be stocking something in the grocery section and you can ask them where something is and they will go, I don't know. You're like, I'm sorry, I should have

asked you. Your Walmart employee, you don't know where anything the fuck is. You need something out of electronics, you're gonna wait twenty minutes for somebody to show the funk up or two. You never know. That's why there's you

can't like. If you're going to get something like I need a TV out of a Walmart, call it, order it ahead, do some help yours help you help you, because sometimes the Walmart employee either is they're not gonna do anything, or the most helpful fucking person you've ever met.

There's rarely an in between. They're walking through the store with you hand and fucking hand right, But we're gonna get some of this, So we're gonna do this and what you're gonna because I can tell you that's someone who was on the road heavy doing in colleges and ship. When Super Walmart started closing, I was like, what happened to the They're telling me I can't walk in this Walmart and three in the morning and get some popcorn, some ice cream and dog food. That's what you're telling me.

You're telling me I can't to walk into a Walmart at two forty five and a good Christian warning okay, and get three stakes, a USB cable and a wrench. Is that what we're saying? Now, this is my issue with Walmart because you you've touched on already. Walmart has everything the way that you put it now you know it's it's for everybody, and and why isn't target? Is the question? So is the internet? The Internet is for everybody? And you've already talked about the fact that it shouldn't

be either. Yeah, look look what it is. Look at what it is. You're saying the target, so target discriminates. Please go on, It's not just not about discrimination, it's about not having every single thing so that you're not mixing so many different demographics of people. There are people that come to Walmart with specific emergencies at play that don't show up to Target because they know Target doesn't

have it, because Target doesn't have a pharmacy. That what you're saying, No, no, no, it's not just a pharmacy thing. I think some Targets do have a pharmacy. I think they do, cause CVS and something. Yeah, yeah, um. But when you have someone that needs a particular store that goes to a Walmart instead, and you do that enough times to where you create a Venn diagram of people who, Oh, man, I'm doing a project on my house and need to grab some power tools. Oh I have a wedding, I

need to pick up some plastic cups. Oh I have all this stuff. Right, And then you put it all in one place. You get the Walmart, you get the Target has power tools. Target but not only just Target have a party. Target not only has a part as a party section, they have their own private label party supplies. Right, So Target picks and chooses what like the trail mix Aisle Beautiful you've never seen macadamias used in such a way. Now, this is a thirty five dollar bag of nuts. Yes,

are you gonna buy it? Yes? Because you tried not to. But you're like, but this is my thing, this is this is this you're you're touching on exactly what I'm talking about. They have a whole trail mixile. They actually don't end up having as much of a sliced peaches aisle as Walmart. So Walmart will have a whole aisle of like the sliced fruits in the cups for the kids that you pack in the lunches. Right, Targets got

like two choices. Hold on the way that you said the streams are slice for the kids and it packs the delicious. It's just it's like people would do Cosby jokes. No, you got for the kids in space, but I can't do conscrete. Um, hopefully none of us can do cosmic. It's a it's an impression that breaks no joy. I saw comic doing an Obama impression the other day and he's not even thirty years old, and I was like,

what are we h? He's very he's a very funny comic. Um. But I saw him doing Obama and then another comic was like, oh, topical material and we both but when we I think we got to walk out of fat Black because I was like, he wasn't old enough to vote for Obama. It was probably in elementary school. I was a grown ass woman dancing in the street to my president is black. When Obama got elected, I was out of college. This nigga wasn't probably out of diapers, and I can't even I was like, how long did

you wait to do this? Maybe he was pull ups? Perhaps I don't know, but he was with the bad age what Obama was president and he's doing. As a question of at least the overalls, he's at least overalls. At least you're still your begosh, which is what I always accused Opio of wearing. By the way, I think this is my this is my My Other issue is that you're not taking full responsibility epsibly. I don't know what on the Walmart side, you're not taking responsibility for

the culture. You're not taking responsibility for because Target doesn't have an auto center. Okay, okay, I can't be responsible for the chaos of a place. No, I can't. If you're thinking it if you're picking it up in the place for my place with no chaos, I have almost no chaos. Chaos. I've seen chaos in a Target. It was at a lower volume, but it was a little It was chaos. I would much rather take chaos at a lower volume than the chaos of allow volume. If

we got chaos up full volume, I might die. I'm not. I'm not a survivor like that. I hear you. Okay, here, if I am in a Walmart and things go left, you say you will be speaking about in the past tips. Okay, if things go sideways in a Target, I just know to step to the right and it will not be my problem anymore. There is because of the price points between a Target and a Walmart. Yes, you're dealing with demographic different demographics of people, because Target forgot where they

came from. Okay, Target used to be very affordable. And I looked and I was in Target one day and I was like, why the fuck I remember being a Target And there was another one made this other woman were standing there in like the home to core Aisle, and I picked up this like accent pillow and it was fifty fucking dollars and I was like, is this pillow fifty dollars? And I heard this woman go what turned yeah, what? And I said this pillows fifty dollars and she was like why and I said why. So

me and another grown adult we're like. I was like this it's I was like, I'm not amazing. I'm not I'm not in Nords Trumps. If any store that's not fucking Nordstrumps gives me a fifty dollar pillow, it should be burned in like how dare you, first of all, a fifty dollar pillow in general as a concept, as a movement, as a label. Nonsense. There's not golden this pillow. This pillow is not gonna hold me at night. This pillow is not gonna I'm not gonna pour water on

it. And And all of a sudden, it's that man in my fucking dreams. It's all made in China. Why the funk is this fifty dollars? My issue is that, Okay, let me this is this is where I feel like we have to dress. You're dealing trauma, okay, in the same way that you didn't funk with sweet Potato pies because you've had bad interactions with sweet potato pies. You don't suck a Walmart because you've been working your whole life to not be a Walmart person. On the other hand,

have always embraced the Walmart lifestyle. Well, I will continue to embrace the Walmart let because when I tried to become a Target person, I realized it requires too much drinking of wine and the overpaying for regular ask things. You're still in department store. Let me, let me explain. All right, let me lie, let your life. But you know what Targets out here, they're not helping, they're not doing the lord's work. They're they're trying to make you

think that's better than what you are. You put a Starbucks in this bit, and you think you better. Kmart was out here selling hot dogs and ship when nobody get no love for Kmart no more? And what did Kmart due to anybody? How did they go out of business as a concept. I'm really always trying to think about that. My thing is, you're missing the taxes and

fees associated with peace of mind. Alright, so yes, Target, you're going to Target, all right, But you know what you didn't see when you went to Target, you and see a proposal on Aisle eight. You didn't see someone trying on clothes that do not fit them? All? Right? Yeah? No, no, no, every clothing store, every store that sells clothing, has people trying on clothes that do not fit them. I'm talking about egregiously not fit. I don't mean checking to see

if it fits. I'm talking about In college, we would go to Walmart, right, and one of my friends would just see if he could fit into a small one. He knew he was an excel, just to walk out of the dressing room and we all get a good laugh because he looks like a big baby, and it

was funny, it was It was very few. I've seen people do that in an old navy, So I'm not clearly there is an epidemic in this country and people try to clothes they know don't fit them because it's the it's the Chris old, Chris Farley, fat guy in a little you know what. People love seeing a grown man's belly button, especially if he's in a shirt that makes him if he's Winny pooing Donald ducking this ship. People love. No one's asking I'm here asking you for

Mickey Mouse. They're asking you for Donald duck, that's what they want. When did the pool gave us? Wait? Died? The pool is the reason I have the courage. This is the thing. And look look no, no, no, no, no, because I can feel this happening. I can feel this happening. I finally have a good one. I finally have a good had a good subject. All you've done is to flect, distract, divide. Okay,

what the history? You can see me? You can you can feel me having some good points, and you're like, oh, let me hit him with a little quip real quick. What did the history of you knowing me? Have I been helpful? Look, I'm just not on this podcast. I'm a very nice person and I hope people know that. And if you don't know that, that's your own problem. I'm a nice lady. Okay. Yeah, you do this thing sometimes where you talk about how nice you are, but then you you add an extra layer that that kind

of takes away a layer. It's kind of a negative to a positive where you're like, if you don't know that, you can go straight to hell. And it's like, well, that doesn't that I understand what you're saying as someone who knows you from the outside look at it. That doesn't that that doesn't help. Did you not see my my I G story the other day? Was it was Monday, it was today. I had a therapy session, m I worked out, and I thank the Lord from my daily scripture.

You niggas are in trouble. Yeah see, but you know what it is. It's like it's like if a rapper. What you do is a lot like if a rapper had a good rhyme and then and then ended it like a real good flow, right, like like you're rocking with it, right, and then in the last line he's like, yeah, I love you, so to your head to your foot. It's like you had us, you fully had us, and then you you know what I mean. I cant have been head to toe, but I said head to foot.

Have been head to toe, head to foot, So I understand what you meant. But I'm saying the way it sounds. Oh, I'm fully aware of how I sound. But that's just funny to me. Like instead of saying I digress, I say I digest just to see who catches it. Yeah, okay,

I'm with you. I just I feel like in this this has been the one that I've looked forward to the most because this is the one where I feel like the audience can hear me, they can feel me, and they's y'all think that y'all are doing that much better because you're willing to pay more money for the right regular ship. You know what, I have not been fair to you. I want you to make your points because I'm not been helping. It's it's it's not about

the prices being more. I never like paying more, especially if it's for the same thing. I know that these big box companies get all their sourced goods from the same like five places. I'm saying Target ends up being better because Walmart is too busy being chaotic, all right, It's not necessarily about the prices. It's not even always about the product, Okay, because I've had plenty of things that I've bought from Target fall apart immediately and then

I had to returnament that that also happens. I'm just saying that, like the levels of which we're getting too much in a Walmart, Okay, like the Walmart I went to when I was in college. We went to because we were bored. That is not a good clientele. You don't want a bunch of board teenagers in your store, just killing time, all right, it's gonna bring down the

quality of the experience for other customers. It's not bringing down the quality of experience, because you know what I hate is when I'm gonna Target and I see somebody calculating within their cart knowing they can't pay for it. That disrupts my quality of my time because it's like, you never want to see people have to negotiate with the thing is that they need. Now, that's the other thing about a Target. You're seeing people people negotiating for

things that they truly don't need. You don't need that other bath mat. You have a bath matt. Just wash your bath matt. You don't need a new one. You need a thirty dollar fucking bath match. The bathmat you have is five Just watch it. You don't need half the things in your car when you get because when you get home from Target, you're always like, where am I gonna put this ship? That's always what happened you

to come up from a Target. Now, as somebody who did go to Walmart when I was bored and has photos from being in at Walmart from in college when I was bored, what I found out is Walmart employees enjoy you putting on all the fishing gear and pretending to fish with your friends in the aisle. They'll take

a picture of that. They'll let you hold onto the daisy bb gun and put on all the hunting gear while you're pretending to hunt the singing deer that's mounted on this black in the hunting section of this country as Walmart. Walmart knows what Walmart is. Walmart employees know if you come in here, because like the number of times we thought that we were gonna be asked to leave a Walmart because I was pretending to chase my friend with the chainsaw and they're like, hey, you want

us to take a picture. Yeah, of course, here's the camera. Thank you so much. Walmart knows what Walmart is. Nobody's going up in a target and have a good time when they're bored, because guess what target closes too early to get that board clientele. Because I'm gonna tell you, we never walked out without buying something. You don't sunk around in a Walmart. I mean, you can't sunk around

a Walmart not buy anything. But Walmart employees are always like, yeah, okay. Well, target on the other hands, like, hey, can I help you now? Bit you can't help me, okay, let me put on all this hunting gear. You can't get upset about help. It's the wet Listen, you're a black person. You've got people aggressively ask you if you needed assistance because they're trying to make sure you're not stealing. I'm

in put on the pants. No, I'm not stealing because there's nothing at the bottom of the the hole in the stollen goods. Oh but if if, if that happens to me, I just put them to work. If somebody rolls up all me and they're like, oh, hey, do you need some help, and they're looking me up at Dowal try to make sure I'm not stealing anything, I'm like, oh, thank goodness you're here. I'll take up their entire shift. I don't give a damn cancel all my shows. I'm in this wal Mart, don't be with me all day.

I'll just I'll be like, what do you think the difference is between a yellow bell pepper and an orange bell pepper? And they'll be like, I'm like, let's look it up. Let's look let's google it together like that. Yeah, no, hey you if you want to roll with me, you

roll with me. I've done that before. I was in I was down at Santi Ali, so like the l A Fashion Diction or whatever fashion fashion district, and I'm in this store and it was like makeup and different stuff in there, like makeup and like different accessories and earrings and ship and there are two women in there with their children and they are obviously stealing. To anyone who's ever worked in a retail store, they are obviously fucking stealing. Truly, they got stuff on the kids. They're there.

I don't know, they're starting a business. They're obviously fucking stealing. But the guy who ran all this, the guy who ran the place, him and his wife. Anytime I would touch something, so he's following me through the store while I'm watching two women with their children obviously fucking steal. So I was like, you know what, I'm running interference.

I'm gonna let these bitches rob this man blind. So what I started doing is I walked through the store and I would just take something off and then just drop it on the ground m hmm. Or I would take something and take it off and then put it back in a different place, because he was he was anything. I looked at something, he would adjust and I just went because I went, are you following me? But now he tried to act like he didn't speak English. Oh, niked,

you don't speak English. These bitches are stealing. We're about to be a problem in here. So I just started moving ship. I'm dropping stuff on the floor, and then I'm watching them continue to openly steal, dropping things in a bag, dropping things in a stroller, handing something to their child so that they can put in the stroll. There's a family of crime. The last thing that I'll say on on my end of Walmart versus Target is, uh,

there's too much. There's almost too much we can't even fitted into an hour and a half show if we were to do that of the drawbacks of Walmart, and I would say, I would refer to people, for lack of a better word, clientele. All Right, there's been quite a fight and quite uh quite a theft, and quite quite an overall chaotic situation. I remember there are times that I'm I'm literally going in Walmart to get in

and get out. I just got my grapes, I got whatever fruits, whatever veggies I wanted, and I'm just watching something happened down because you also made the place too big, because now the Walmart as a whole as a city, and cities are going to have their levels of crime and their levels of of chaos. Right. Um, then I think that even though it's cheap, the price point is

still not fantastic for what the thing actually is. So prices what you mean, because what they do is a it's a tactic where they tell you they've rolled it back, but you never actually saw that initial price in the first place. Right, So they'll be like, we've rolled back prices from eight nine nine to six nine nine. But then when you actually look at the thing and you pay attention, it was never eight nine nine in the store.

They just marked it up so they can mark it down, which is the price that they wanted to pay the entire time. Oh yeah, I had a jewelry business, I would do that and be like, oh it's twenty but for you. There we go. Then last thing, I think the add ons are actually negatives. Okay, the some of the photo shoots, some of the extra sandwich businesses that are inside of Walmarts actually decrease the value for me. You know what, Claire's in a Walmart and I was like,

shout out the Claire's. They're like, we're not going out of business. But these malls are dying. These malls are dying. But these Walmarts. Yea, even though Walmart sells the little accessory nonsense that a Claire's has, it doesn't have the depth of the accessory nonsense that a Claire's has. Also, you got your daughter, whether you're going anyway, yeah, a little get her ears pierced. She's nine. I feel like

Target has just enough. Okay, they have just enough that I can get what I need and it's not crazy. I don't have to go through a bunch of aisles. I actually don't need as much help. Target has a system in place that I don't think Walmart's have, or at least not all of them, where you can walk up to a little um like kiosk type thing on certain aisles, you type in what you need and they will tell you what aislets on in what section. And that's something that Walmart has not had. I the Target

just has the price scanners. I don't even know what you're talking about. So Walmart also has the price scanners. But if you if you go up to certain sections and a Target, this isn't a lot of the Targets in New York City and you just type in what you need. It's it's the same thing as the website, but it's for the store. When you type it in, it'll tell you like aile five row too, whatever the thing is. It's easier for New York Walmart to do. I mean, You're Target to do that because the New

York Target only has five items in it. I've tried to get shoes out of a New York Target and I was like and I was like, no, no, no, no, no, it's that shape. I was literally I tried to go get and I was like, I need some new shoes, and I was like, I was in a hurry, and I couldn't find a DSW that was close to where I was. I was like, you know what a tar j a tar gott Let me walk on the beach and try to find something to keep my feet off the ground. And I got to the shoes section and

there was literally only twenty pairs of fucking shoes. And I looked at the girl and said, where the rest of the shoes, because all of the targets in New York in the city, like in Manhattan or like abbreviated reduced. Damn. Actually, that's that's why even make the store. There's only twenty pairs of shows in here where the fund is the

rest of the store. So you so that like that's and I was like, I hate do you know what I do If I want to go to a Target, I go twenty five minutes at the fucking flushing because it's a whole store. It's got the big red balls in front to make sure you don't drop through that bitch and stone a TV s. It has whole What do you think the red balls was for? It? Never, I honestly never thought about what they were for. And this makes perfect sense. I'd rather than be for that.

That's exactly what they're for. WY A lot of stores, like big box stores, because like Walmart, some of them will have those pillars in front of them too. It's so you don't drive in their store. Also, not even to steal their ship, it's just so you don't drive in the store. Because it's happened enough now right where they're like, hey, how do we stop this, but make it aesthetically pleasing. UM put giant balls in front of the store that will destroy most vehicles if they drive

into them. So I understand that Walmart is the waffle House of stores. I'm fully aware. I appreciate that. I'm fully aware of what she is, who she is, and what she's doing. But if I'm trying two furnish an entire apartment, and to furnish I had to literally buy dishes, cups, you know, everything that you have to have as a person when you live indoors. Right, I have TV, gotta put something, put the TV on one. You have to have hangars to put your clothes up. All these things.

I furnished my whole apartment. I got not furnished. But like I, I guess it's not furniture. What's the what's if it's not furniture, what's it go? When you're like putting stuff in an apartment, like the pots and the pans and the you know what, what's that? I guess you? I mean, I think you're still furnishing because right, yeah, I spent I had two buggies full. I might have spent four hundred dollars three to get everything I needed. I bought an air mattress because I had nothing in

this apartment. Yeah, I spent three I know if I would have bought those same things out of Target, I would have spent twice as much. Okay, so how about this. We're gonna kick it to you the listener, and this is These are the last things that I'll say before I rested with all of you. Um my last and final, you know, checkmate of a position. I understand that some people like Walmart for the entertainment value and everything and for the price point. But you need only go to

people of Walmart to see what I'm talking about. That's your only, That's not my only. I'm just saying it's my last. Uh. I. I definitely can concede that there are targets that might as well not even be stores. There are targets where there are six things on sale and only two of them are here. But I think that you're you're leaning one way or the other, were either leaning towards these uh drawbacks of the supercenter, which yes, it has everything, but like at what costs? How long

are you're gonna be in there? No one is helpful or not no one but usually no one or the tiny store that hopefully has an entire section of the thing that you think they'd have. Like I remember one time I went to one of the tiny ones and they didn't have I don't think they had any mouthwash at all. And I was like, okay, well, then don't make this like a pharmacy type section. Then you have

the toothbrushes, you have the floss. Don't do this now right the two ways, and you don't have mouthwashed, like who lives Like That's why I went to like two different Manhattan targets and I was like, and I hate to ever say this, but a plague upon both your houses is really how I felt when I walked out of the store. So I know, oh, I have to go to a target in Queens. I have to go to where the people are, meaning the suburbs. I have

to go to the targeting the targeting the suburbs. Just like when I found like the h smarts that are in Manhattan, like Hmart, it was just it was just sold the ready made food and that was it. And I was like, no, I'm here for the full Hmart experience. Don't do this to me. But I realized that New York does not have this super H there's this super H part. Yeah is amazing. It's it's and I'm just like, yes, calm through, calm through super H smart. Okay, they got

the samples. It's me and I do. I'm out here tasting ship email. We out here eating things. Okay, once they see my cart, I'll be walking hand in hands through the store. Right. She's helping me get the good kimchi, Like, oh, you're making kimchi pancakes. Well, that means you got to get the older kimchi because you need more defermentation. We have a conversations, were hanging out. Her son is in school. I hope he's doing well. You know what I mean,

Super H Smart. I appreciate all of you listening. We appreciate you being listeners. We appreciate your opinions. I felt that I felt that. Don't do that. I felt it. You don't think I felt that. Huh, you don't think I felt it? What you just did? What you did? We want you to tell us what you think. Are you team Walmart? Team Target? Do you go for the supercenter or the little quick self checkout experience that I guess Targets are doing. It is really wild. It's like

it's like it might as well. Some of these targets might as well be a CVS. But I still think that they offer my life more stability than the Walmarts did. Okay, but I just I can't listen. It's very rare as a child that I would see a closed Walmart. Yeah, but things need to close. No no, no no, no no, I mean closesn't like shut down. Oh I'm sorry, I thought you meant for the night. Yeah, they should. I mean, I think at all. I think, honestly, any twenty four

hour place is just asking for trouble. I mean, we've all heard that nothing good happens after midnight unless you're in a Target in Gainesville, Georgia. I feel like this is my tomato suit, you know what I mean? Because a lot of people are going to be like a dult, say, you're a learned person, why are you associating yourself apposing yourself in the Walmart? And I will tell you I am one of my favorite things to do on the

road is to go to Walmart. So we want you to check out, between your friends and you, how you feel about this. Open up this conversation to the people in your life. Maybe open it up in a Walmart or Target, you know. And which I don't want you to do is don't be upity about it. Okay, don't judge people. They'll be like, hey, listen, what is your preference? Okay, don't Walmart shane people. Yeah. Yeah. And I want people out there to value themselves. I want you to value yourself.

I don't want you to take care of yourself. I want you to ask what what would be an easier day for you? You know, because maybe you are in a closer proximity to Walmart. Who knows.
